Senator Sherman feels confident
that president Cleveland will DO re-
nominated, and bases his belief upon
the fact that the president is dog.
matte and domineering in his ways.
He snubs his cabinet and the public
men in the democratic lines. The
people like him for this. rather
think, after all, the people enjoy it
when public men are snubbed.
Mr.. Sherman expects that some
sort of tariff measure will GO
through the house, and says: "This
will be sent to the senate and when
we thus get jurisdiction over the
subject we will make bill, but
rest assured that it will enbody the
feature of protection to American
labor. The aim ought to be to tax
all foreign importation with which
the American product cannot COM
pete, let in free all goods in which
America Is not thrown in competi-
ton, and, likewise, make free all the
articles which are necessaries of
life"
Mr.. Sherman criticises the conduct
of the treasury department severely {.
Says he: "Had 1 been. at its head l
would never have permitted the
present surplus to have accumulated.
l would have gone into the market
and bought bonds and kept the mon
ey in circulation.

CONGRESS-.

1hc nrSG MONDAY In DeceuDci VIII
witness the re-assembling of con-
gress for one of the most interesting
sessions since the issues arising
from the rebellion were under con-
sideration. 1t will be emphstically,
a political rather than . legislative
session. and leaders in both parties
will make their best endeavors to ere
ate partisan capital for use in the
approaching presidential canvass.
The session will be interesting from
the fact that peculiar condition
of affairs exists which is wholly ir.
ritant parallel in the history of this.
or any other nation. The United
States is accommodating wealth too
fast without any reasonable means
Of disposing of 1t. Public credit is
too good, and public moneys are too
abundant. How either to reduce the
income, or judiciously expsnd it.,
will be the all absorbing topics and
the next national campaign will be
very materially effected by the way
in which this issue is handled. An
other interesting feature Of this very
issue il that neither party has con-
troll of it. While the house of rep
resentatives and the executive are
democratic tho republicans have the
negative power of multiplying demo
cratic legislation when it shall reach
the senate, and this power is just as
important and fully as dangerous as
the positive power of originating
financial legislation. To withhold
assent from what is good is frsusht
with representatives as grave as id.
vecating what is bad.
The republican party is pledged to
a protection tariff although not more
united upon the subject than the
democrats are upon free trade. Or
the other hand the republicans hard
ly dare take the responsibility of sd
vocating any material reduction or
the internal tax upon Intoxicating
liquors for the purpose of decreasing
public revenues. In this strait il
will not be strange if the republi'
cans cast about for some avenue fsl
such large expenditures Of the money
flowing in such volume into The
treasury as will commend itself tt
the public as wise and patriotic.
The democrats will endeavor to de
wise means to reduce the income-tht
republicans to make judicious rules
of the public revenues. But neither
party are unit on either policy.
The session will be fruitful ia
speeches designed for effect solely
upon the.issues OF the campaigH-tt
influence voters rather than legisla
ton. Every conceivable device o
political ingenuity will be resortet
to for the purpose of furthering party
ends. If President Cleveland's luck
which has been a potent facter moi
only in eleyating him to his present
position, but in shaping his officia
and personal action therein, serves
to keep him out of the traps and pit
falls which will be set for him by
political enemies within his owr
party as well as out of it, he may
have abundant reason to consider
himself the man Of destiny. He viii
